Chapter 223: Bloody Nanyang City (2)
Li Guo mobilized 10,000 infantry and rushed towards Nanyang City again, 10,000 infantry, 10,000 homeless, plus 3,000 archers, and artillery behind to help, I have to say, as soon as he came up, Li Zicheng used all his strength!
Groups of intruder soldiers climbed desperately on the ladder, like clusters of ants!
The army supervision team behind him is constantly urging forward, after all, this is a group of homeless people, if it is not strictly supervised, it will have already broken up, advance is death, retreat, and will also be cut into meat sauce by the army supervision team, at this time, you can only move forward, not retreat! Climb to the top of the city and take Nanyang Mansion, only then can there be a way to live, and only then can you transform from a homeless person to a regular soldier!
In order to survive, the desperate homeless people kept climbing, and the steel knives in their hands kept waving! Most of the homeless people had already been shot down by the Ming army with bows and arrows before they reached the top of the city, and they fell under the city!
Under the city, the corpses have already piled up now, and at least three or four thousand homeless people have been killed or injured in this battle! Of course, at this time, the Ming army in the city was not having a good time, although Gao Jie's pioneer battalion was brave, but the arrival of the plague suddenly hollowed out the fierce temperament of the forward battalion soldiers, and the number of sick soldiers in the Qin army reached 10,000, but there were already sick and not yet sick soldiers, these people were also tortured by bubonic plague, and their necks, armpits, and thighs had already appeared to erode.
Gao Jie's forward battalion alone, the number of people infected by the plague has now exceeded 5,000, accounting for one-fifth of the forward battalion's strength! The combat power of the entire forward battalion has been greatly affected!
The conservative plague-tormented Ming army could only look at the constant attack and harassment of the invasive army and the displaced people, and after a whole day of fighting, the exhausted Ming army was already numb, only knowing that they kept waving the steel knife and spear in their hands, and repeating these actions mechanically......
The battle lasted from morning to dusk, and the Ming army and the camp had already paid a huge price, and the 10,000 homeless people of the invading army plus the 10,000 infantry who rushed up from behind, the casualties had exceeded 4,000! Besieging a city is a far greater price than defending it, and that is almost an unbreakable truth.
Of course, the casualties of the Ming army were also huge, and the forward battalion mobilized the strength of two infantry battalions, more than 2,000 people, and now the strength that can maintain the battle is less than 1,000 people......
You must know that the losses of the invading army are the homeless people and ordinary infantry, but the losses of the Ming army are all the elite forwards!
Such an elite force can still be defeated in the face of 5,000 homeless people in normal times! However, today is different, the breaking army only paid the price of 4,000 people, and the forward battalion suffered a huge trauma!
It was one by one that the soldiers of the camp climbed up from the ladder, constantly launching an assault towards the city!
Above the city, Gao Jie was covered in blood all over his body, like a bloody man! The army that died in Gao Jie's hands has exceeded 100 people, Gao Jie is still slashing and slashing, a whole day of fighting, not that Gao Jie is not tired, but Gao Jie can't stop at all, once he stops, his physical strength has been overdrawn to the extreme Gao Jie, but I'm afraid that he doesn't even have the strength to stand.
In a whole day, Gao Jie has shot nearly 200 feather arrows alone, and the steel knife in his hand has been cut to the edge, hurting countless people, and the name of bravery is really not covered!
"General, our brothers have suffered a lot of casualties, are you transferring Keqi and their battalion to replace ......?"
The guerrilla general Duan Ruixiang was a little unable to hold on, for most of the day, the strength of his two battalions, 2,000 people, now there are less than 1,000 troops to be able to maintain the battle, the rest are either dead or wounded, and there are those who are sick, there is no way to fight at all!
"Bastard! Lao Tzu hasn't retreated yet, and you're cowardly? ”
Gao Jie shouted, "Give me all the top, you must give me this attack of the thief back, the thief is already at the end of the crossbow!" ”
Duan Ruixiang is about to cry, wipe it, more than half of the casualties of the two battalions are there, if you fight for an hour, you won't become the commander of the light pole?
When he wanted to persuade again, Gao Jie had already rushed to the front again, rounded the steel knife, and started another fight!
"Damn it!"
Gao Yigong and Li Guo watched as the sky was about to darken, but the army was in vain, and their hearts became more and more annoyed!
"Li Guo, you press the formation in the back, and Lao Tzu personally leads the brothers to launch another attack! The dog said, fight! ”
Gao Yigong didn't wait for Li Guo to speak, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he led thousands of infantry to rush forward again!
This time, it was not the outcasts who were used, but 3,000 infantry, elite infantry!
Gao Yigong saw the corpses of the brothers piled up under the city wall, and he was naturally furious!
"Rush, rush! Ge Dabiao, Liu Xichang, Yang Xiu, the three of you will personally go to the city to fight, which one is the first to climb the city, I will ask King Chuang for credit for you, let you be promoted to the third level, and reward you with a hundred taels of gold! ”
The three battalion generals agreed, and together they commanded the soldiers under their command to rush forward!
This one, however, is a new force, an elite infantry that is completely full of energy!
Three thousand infantry pressed up together, Zhu Jie was thinking that it was impossible to suppress the opponent's siege with two infantry battalions, and soon, the infantry was about to climb to the top of the city, raising swords and guns at the same time, attacking the Ming army, and the combat power was much sharper than just now!
Originally, the Ming army at the head of the city was already at the end of the crossbow, and it was able to insist on resisting the attack of the intruding army, this time, they thought it was still a homeless people, but they didn't expect that when they fought, it was completely different!
The first to bear the brunt is Gao Jie, the steel knife in Gao Jie's hand slashed towards a break army at the head of the city, the small leader of the army will be a horizontal knife, parrying upwards, the steel knife in Gao Jie's hand is too powerful, the army of the park knife is cutting on the gap of the steel knife, and the steel knife is broken in response!
Gao Jie almost went down from the city, and the little leader of the army saw that Gao Jie had a flaw, and his heart was overjoyed, and the Pu knife in his hand was sent forward, stabbing straight at Gao Jie's chest!
"Lord Commander!"
Duan Ruixiang on the side screamed, threw Gao Jie to the ground, and the steel knife in his hand came out of his hand and threw it directly towards the breaking army!
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The little leader of the army didn't expect that the Ming army on the side would suddenly swoop down the killer, and he flew over, cutting off the head of the little leader, and the body fell to the head of the city!
At the same time, Duan Ruixiang fell on Gao Jie's body, and Pu Dao stabbed through his chest.
"My lord, send reinforcements, quickly send reinforcements......"
Duan Ruixiang spurted blood foam in his mouth and said with difficulty.
Yes......
Gao Jie let out a terrible howl - "Ruixiang, Brother Ruixiang! ”
